"..."
Liu Feng's lips parted slightly, then he shook his head with a smile.
In fact, he had been certain from the beginning that Chen Shu would not betray the country.
Play is play, joking is joking, but principles are not to be trifled with...
Chen Shu said, "There's actually one more small reason!"
"Oh? What is it?"
"If I really joined, my title would be 'Savior Scoundrel'!"
Chen Shu said with a look of disgust, "Could it get any more tacky!"
"..."
Just as Liu Feng was about to raise his hand to give him a whack,
He immediately tugged at his wound, causing him to grin in pain.
"Old Liu, are you alright?"
Seeing this, Chen Shu immediately stepped forward to ask.
Besides Liu Feng's four contracted spirits being severely injured, he himself was also in extremely bad shape.
"I'm fine, I can take it... Let's head back to Origin Island first."
Liu Feng lay down, forcing a smile onto his face.
The intense battle earlier had made him excited, and he had momentarily overlooked his own pain.
"Alright!"
Chen Shu had Slime use its Charge skill, moving in the direction of Origin Island.
At the same time, he opened his combat pack and took out a bottle of potion:
"Teacher, let me apply some medicine for you."
"Okay..."
Liu Feng didn't insist and nodded.
But when he saw the potion in Chen Shu's hand, his expression changed instantly.
"Holy hell! Wait! Don't come any closer!"
He forcibly propped himself up with both hands, creating distance between himself and Chen Shu.
"What's wrong, Teacher Liu?"
Chen Shu's eyes were confused. He said, "If you don't apply the medicine soon, you might have lingering after-effects."
"I understand the logic, but why is this thing gray!"
Liu Feng pointed at the potion bottle in his hand, his eyes filled with panic.
This guy wouldn't be planning to take him away directly, would he?
He immediately thought of what happened to Xiu before, and a shadow of apprehension fell upon him.
Chen Shu paused for a moment, then understood and said,
"What are you thinking? This is just special medicine from Huaxia Hospital."
"It's gray?"
Liu Feng's eyes held concern. He said, "I've seen special medicine before, but I've never heard of this color."
"Well... I asked the doctor to make it this way specifically..."
Chen Shu scratched his head and said, "Isn't this to confuse the enemy?"
"What nonsense?"
Liu Feng looked bewildered. This couldn't confuse anything!
"Think about it, if there's a special situation, I can pretend to be treating an enemy. They'll see the first bottle is regular medicine and won't be suspicious."
Chen Shu chuckled and said,
"Then, I'll take out the second bottle and apply it to their wound. The scene... Hehehe~~~"
"..."
Liu Feng's lips twitched. You're truly sinister!
"It's really not a nuclear bomb."
Chen Shu poured a little of the potion from the bottle and applied it to his own hand.
"That's more like it."
Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, scoundrels wouldn't apply nuclear bombs to themselves...
Just as the two were returning, Origin Island was already in chaos!
Today was the first match of the third round of the World Competition, and it was Chen Shu from Huaxia against Lin Han from Land Country!
However, at the moment when all eyes were on them,
Chen Shu simply vanished...
This directly interrupted the progress of the match.
Because a contestant was having issues, the competition had to be temporarily halted.
The organizers and various contestants began searching for Chen Shu.
"I'm really impressed. Where has this kid gone!"
Qin Tian's face was filled with anxiety. For so many years,
He had never seen anything so absurd. Mid-match, the contestant just disappeared...
For a time, across Origin Island, various contracted spirits released their detection skills.
"Old Qin, your contestant has likely left Origin Island."
Anton from Snow Country said, "We've already searched the island thoroughly, and there's no one here. We can confirm that."
"This brat! If I find him, I'll lock him up in the academy for ten years!"
Qin Tian was furious, but a hint of worry gnawed at him.
Could this kid have been kidnapped?
With Chen Shu's abilities, once he left Origin Island, he would be instantly detected by the technological barrier. Not even a spatial rabbit could help him escape.
Unless a powerful individual had forcibly taken him.
"Principal Qin, is your contestant afraid to fight Lin Han from a small country?"
Brin from Immortal Kingdom smiled slightly, her tone laced with mockery.
"If you keep being sarcastic, don't blame me for taking action!"
Qin Tian's expression turned cold. He said, "He dared to bomb your ancestral grave, and you think he's afraid of facing a Silver?"
"..."
Brin's expression froze. What kind of metaphor was that?!
But seeing Qin Tian in a fit of anger, she dared not provoke him further.
"So what should we do now?"
Dolly from Free Alliance said, "The World Competition cannot be delayed."
"What can we do? Search!"
Qin Tian's tone was firm, saying,
"According to the organizer's privilege, our Huaxia has the right to delay the match by half a day! I suspect he's not on Origin Island, and I need to go out and search for him!"
With that, he mounted his contracted spirit and headed straight for the edge of the island.
On the other side, A Liang and others were also extremely anxious.
"Where do you think this guy ran off to?"
"Maybe something happened."
Fang Si's eyes were filled with worry. She hadn't expected him to suddenly disappear out of the blue.
"Could someone have kidnapped him?"
A contestant from the Black Iron group said, "Looking for a high ransom."
"Get out of here!"
A Liang shook his head and said, "It would be good enough if he didn't kidnap others. Who would dare kidnap him!"
Kidnapping a scoundrel, this was the most bizarre thing anyone had ever heard.
"Agreed!"
Wang Jue also nodded and said, "I actually suspect this guy went to throw nuclear bombs..."
"It's possible."
Xu Xingxing analyzed seriously:
"Last time he went abroad, he was throwing them daily. Now that he finally has a chance, if he doesn't throw nuclear bombs, he probably can't sleep at night."
"..."
Everyone's lips twitched. Although it was a bit absurd, it seemed to be correct...
